“We’ll be at your daughter’s soccer game!”

The Rev. Charles Williams II made the comments Tuesday to loud cheers before a group of thousands of union workers. After his promises to harass Gov. Snyder, he introduced Rep. Richard Hammel, D-Mt. Morris Township, and House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, D-Auburn Hills. Williams is a Detroit-area pastor and left-wing activist.

Gov. Snyder later that day signed a bill into law making Michigan a right-to-work state. One of his daughters is a 16-year-old high school student.

“Just know one thing, Rick Snyder: You sign that bill, you won’t get no rest,” Williams said. “We’ll meet you on Geddes Road. We’ll be at your daughter’s soccer game. We’ll visit you at your church. We’ll be at your office.

Blowback

Bad optics on that. However, letting it slip that your family now has to be guarded round the clock (at a significant cost to the taxpayers) and that your 16-year old daughter will probably have to start wearing body armor in response to union threats may not be a bad way to go.

Reverend … hmmmm.

Unions are the original domestic terrorists, trying to bring pain and suffering to uninvolved third parties in order to bolster their pathetic (and un-Constitutional and insane) positions. These idiots should go to Cuba, where they’d feel more at home. Or the rest of us need a national divorce from these diseased thugs. I share nothing with these people and want nothing to do with them.

LEt these union thugs talk. Let them tear down tents and take swipes at people. Let the videos, tapes, roll. Sooner or later the message will get out. Not the one the unions want to get out, but the real one. These thugs and their greedy, power-hungry leaders, are nothing more than vicious criminals. The decent people of this country will detest them, their words and their actions. President Obama can’t ignore them or excuse them forever.

Go ahead. Threaten to “stalk” the governor. Aren’t there laws against stalking? The governor should go ahead with his business. Keep body guards at hand, have his family beware, and let the good citizens of Michigan take note of who the real enemies of freedom are. Union goons, what trash.

So, sending armed and uniformed State Troopers into a church service is the smart play?

There’s absolutely no way that can go wrong.

If the leader of said ‘church’ has physically threatened an elected politician and his children, said church has done absolutely nothing about it, they have no more right so sanctity than a mosque sheltering terrorists.

Preaching towards politics is one thing, as is pointing out that some politician or another is an amoral lying jacka$$. But direct threats? No sympathy.
